Beginner - Course Overview
-
Module 1
A round pen provides a controlled environment in which the dog can concentrate on the sheep and the dog handler. The dog starts to develop his sense of balance. You learn more about the character of your dog
-
Module 2
The basics laid down in the round pen are now reinforced without the round pen. Build up the outrun from behind, arrive at the end of the outrun and lift correctly. Then we increase the distance. The distance doesn't matter anymore if the dog has learned to arrive correctly. Arrive begins at 3 or 9 o'clock.
